Today LA County can - and must - commit to developing an antiracist policy agenda and confronting the awful legacy of slavery in all govt institutions, including the unjust criminal justice system! @mridleythomas #antiracism

[Mark Ridley-Thomas @mridleythomas]

It’s no longer sufficient to support diversity and inclusion initiatives. @CountyOfLA can set the national standard and become a leader of antiracist policymaking and program implementation. #AntiRacistLA

California, L.A. Agree: Locking Up Young Children Is ‘Nothing Good for Nobody.’ L.A. is now coming up with a system to serve children 11 and younger outside of the #juvenilejustice system. https://t.co/NjYWTNW2XH

This is a blatantly unconstitutional attempt to fan the flames of anti-immigrant hatred in the days ahead of the midterms.

The 14th Amendment’s citizenship guarantee is clear. You can’t erase the Constitution with an executive order, @realDonaldTrump.

If you support Kavanaugh, you ARE condoning sexual assault, @susancollins.

No way around it. You are. And we will never forget.

.@JerryBrownGov signed my #AB1793 to reduce or remove outdated #cannabis convictions so people can turn the page & make a fresh start! Outdated convictions shouldn't be a barrier to employment & housing. #AB1793 allows people to more easily access their existing #Prop64 rights.

I never thought I would live to see a day when the Supreme Court of the United States would again make a decision as inhumane as Dred Scott v. Sandford or Korematsu v. United States. #StandWithMuslims #NoMuslimBanEver

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

This Administration’s deportation force is forcing immigrants back into the shadows. The consequences are devastating. https://t.co/64N42uEkZB

.@mridleythomas reflects on RFK’s legacy 50 years later, and urges us to commit to end homelessness and take on the mantle of unfinished business!
